Industrial Mechatronics Maintenance Specialist

Grow with Ashley Furniture as an Industrial Mechatronics Maintenance Specialist

Picture a day where you start on the production floor, scanning a conveyor status light while a robot pauses mid-cycle. You trace the signal through a control panel, read a snippet of ladder logic, swap a VFD parameter to stabilize a motor, and then pivot to a hydraulic leak that you isolate and repair. By afternoon, you’re updating the CMMS, coordinating a planned downtime window with production, and buttoning up a preventive maintenance route so tomorrow’s run starts strong. If diagnosing, repairing, and optimizing complex systems sounds like your kind of day, you’ll feel right at home here.
